Lamont Patterson: The Beginning

Music is the driving force for WORLD MOVEMENT RECORDS. Lamont Patterson, the CEO and founder of the label, is living this each day.

Lamont The Talent

Lamont Patterson was born in Bonham, Texas on March 19, 1950 to Sam and Eula Patterson. He is the oldest of three children. Lamont started out at the tender age of five, singing in the church choir and moving on to tenor saxophone, as his instrument of choice. With role models such as jazz greats, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins and Roland Kirk, Lamont excelled as a musician. After high school, Lamont’s cousin Bobby Sanders included him in the rehearsals of his clients, Little Anthony and The Imperials and The Young Hearts, giving him the unique opportunity to sing, dance and practice choreography, inspiring him onward in music. In college, Lamont was offered an opportunity to sing second tenor and write lyrics for New Birth, an R & B group. The group toured with such notables as the O’Jays, Blue Magic, The Four Tops and other great sounds from the Motown era.

As his talents increased, Lamont became more and more intrigued with the desire to play a bigger role in the music industry. His first group was The Elements of Peace, an R & B group, produced by Aaron Neville, in which he sang lead and played tenor saxophone. This would open doors for him to work with Grammy winners Aaron Neville, Quincy Jones, Marvin Gaye, Ike Turner and Tina Turner, Bill Summers, Big Boy, and Side Effect, in collaborative projects. It was in these collaborations that Lamont got his first taste of the production side of the business.

Begining World Movement Records

Sensitive to how the industry requires artist to change their music based on the new and upcoming sounds of the newer developing artists; with a new outlook on music, Lamont started WORLD MOVEMENT RECORDS (WMR) in 1990. WMR became the place where artist could be who they truly are. Artist thrived under Lamont’s direction, leading to Platinum Records for Ghetto Hippie and Bobby Caldwell and a Gold Album for Jeffery Osborne, (Prince, Morris Day, and Warner Bros) among others. As the industry changed, so did Lamont, moving into the digital age and following technical trends. WMR began supporting artists as an entire entity from music distribution to merchandising and publishing, to TV and film roles. Pretty Tony became the first to release books into the market place through World Movement Publishing. Followed by compilation CD’s for such artist as West Coast Bangaz and Coast Ridaz.
